Raspberry Pi Environment Construction Guide

 



1. Hardware Preparation

  • Raspberry Pi Model → Pi 4 (recommended), Pi 5 (newest), or Pi Zero (compact projects)

  • MicroSD Card → 16GB+ (Class 10 or UHS-I), or SSD for better speed

  • Power Supply → Official Pi adapter (5V 3A for Pi 4, 5V 5A for Pi 5)

  • Cables & Peripherals:

    • HDMI cable + monitor (optional, for first setup)

    • USB keyboard/mouse (optional, if not headless)

    • Ethernet cable (preferred) or Wi-Fi

  • (Optional) Case + heatsink/fan for cooling

2. Install the Operating System

  1. Download Raspberry Pi Imager:
    https://www.raspberrypi.com/software

  2. Flash OS to microSD:

    • Choose OS:

      • Raspberry Pi OS Lite → headless, server projects

      • Raspberry Pi OS Desktop → GUI for beginners

    • Enable SSH, set Wi-Fi SSID/PW, and hostname in advanced options.

  3. Insert SD card → power up Pi.

3. First Boot & Basic Setup

Login (default):

Username: pi
Password: raspberry

Then:

sudo raspi-config

  • Change password

  • Set timezone & locale

  • Enable SSH / I2C / SPI / Camera (if needed)

  • Reboot

Update system:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

4. Networking Setup

  • Static IP (recommended for servers):

sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf

Add:

interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.1.100/24
static routers=192.168.1.1
static domain_name_servers=8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

  • Reboot:

sudo reboot

Now your Pi has a fixed IP.

5. Essential Tools Installation

sudo apt install git curl wget htop unzip build-essential -y

  • Python tools:

sudo apt install python3-pip python3-venv -y

  • Node.js (for web/IoT projects):

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install -y nodejs

  • Docker (for containerized apps):

curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker pi

6. Development Environment

  • C/C++: Already available via gcc / make.

  • Python IDEs:

    • Thonny (GUI) → sudo apt install thonny -y

    • VS Code (remote SSH) → install on your PC, connect to Pi.

  • IoT Libraries:

    • GPIO: pip install RPi.GPIO

    • I2C/SPI: sudo apt install python3-smbus i2c-tools

7. Storage & Backup

  • Mount external drive:

sudo mkdir /mnt/storage
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/storage

  • Add to /etc/fstab for auto-mount.

  • Backup system image with rpi-clone or Raspberry Pi Imager.

8. Remote Access & Monitoring

  • SSH (terminal access): ssh pi@192.168.1.100

  • VNC (remote desktop):

    sudo apt install realvnc-vnc-server realvnc-vnc-viewer -y
sudo raspi-config  # Enable VNC

  • Web Dashboard (Cockpit):

    sudo apt install cockpit -y

9. Security Hardening

  • Change default password

  • Create new user, disable root login

  • Setup UFW firewall:

    sudo apt install ufw -y
sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo ufw enable

  • Enable fail2ban to block brute force attacks

10. Project-Specific Extensions

  • NAS/Storage Server → Install OpenMediaVault

  • Media Center → Install Kodi or Plex

  • IoT Gateway → Install Node-RED (sudo apt install nodered)

  • Web Server → Nginx/Apache + MySQL + PHP

  • Home Automation → Home Assistant (docker run homeassistant)

 By following these steps, your Raspberry Pi will be ready as a multi-purpose development and server environment.

How To Connect Stm32 To PC?

图片
Connecting an STM32 microcontroller to a PC typically involves using a communication interface such as USB , UART (serial) , SPI , or I2C . The most common and straightforward method is through USB or UART . Below, I’ll explain how to connect your STM32 to a PC using these methods. Method 1: Using USB (Direct Connection via Virtual COM Port) Many STM32 boards, such as the STM32 Nucleo or STM32 Discovery series, have a built-in USB-to-serial interface, which allows you to communicate with your PC via a virtual COM port . Steps for Connecting via USB: Use a USB Cable : If your STM32 board has a built-in USB interface (e.g., STM32 Nucleo boards ), simply use a micro-USB or USB-C cable to connect the board to your PC. Install Drivers (if required) : Some STM32 boards (e.g., those with ST-Link or USB to UART interfaces) might require drivers to be installed on your PC. Visit the STMicroelectronics website and download the appropriate ST-Link drivers or Virtual COM Port (VCP) dri...

What are the common HDL languages used in FPGA design?

图片
  Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) are specialized programming languages used to design and model digital circuits in FPGAs ( Field-Programmable Gate Arrays ) and ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits). The two most common HDLs used in FPGA design are   VHDL   and   Verilog . Additionally,   SystemVerilog   and newer languages like   Chisel   and   HLS (High-Level Synthesis)   tools are gaining popularity. Here's an overview of these languages: 1. VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) Overview : VHDL stands for Very High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language. It was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense in the 1980s. Features : Strongly typed language with a rich set of data types. Emphasizes modularity and reusability through entities and architectures. Supports behavioral, dataflow, and structural modeling. Strengths : High level of abstraction and strict syntax, which reduces errors. Well-su...

What is a Look-Up Table (LUT) in an FPGA, and how does it work?

图片
  A   Look-Up Table (LUT)   in an FPGA is a fundamental building block used to implement   combinational logic   (logic that depends only on the current input values). It acts as a programmable truth table, allowing the FPGA to emulate virtually any Boolean logic function (e.g., AND, OR, XOR) based on how it is configured. Here’s a detailed explanation: What is a LUT? A LUT is a small, fast memory block that stores precomputed output values for all possible combinations of its inputs. In FPGAs, LUTs are the core of   Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) , which form the programmable fabric of the device. A LUT with  n  inputs  can implement  any Boolean function  of those  n  variables. For example: A  2-input LUT  can emulate AND, OR, NAND, XOR, etc. A  4-input LUT  (common in modern FPGAs ) can implement more complex functions. How Does a LUT Work? 1. Truth Table Storage : A LUT behaves like a truth tab...
